To all whomit may concern: -Be it known that we, FRED Rrvn'r'r, a British subject, and a resident of Heaton Chapel, county of Lan-' caster, England, and SAMUEL OLDHAM, a British subject and a resident of Heaton Norris, county of Lancaster England, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Split Drums" for Winding-Frames, which the following is' a specification. p

This invention relates to the drums of winding and gassingframes in which the cross winding is performed by a split or groove running spirally or diagonally across the periphery of the drum; t Y

It'consistsessentially in constructing the drum with an auxiliary slot parallel or approximately parallel the direction of rotation or at right angles to the axis on one or both sides or with an opening or aperture or increased width of slot at one side of the present slit or split into which the thread can enter while the drum continues its rotating at a rapid rate and by which the thread will'be at once directed into the slitor split of the drum.

The invention will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which as examples showing another form. Fig 4. End elevation in secseveral forms of the invention are shown.

Figure 1. Perspective view of split winding. drum showing one form of the iniiention. 'Fig. 2. Similar view showing another form. Fig'.,. 3. Similar view tion.

The winding drum A is split or formed with a slit a traversingithe' periphery of the drum in the usual way by which the thread or yarn is directed '-duringthe process'of winding. I I

In one face or side of the drum an auxiliary slot or opening B is made of sufficient width to allow the thread Specification of Letters 1atent. Application filed June 4', 1906 Serial No. 320,094-

Patented Oct. 15, 1997 axis so that a thread will readily enterit upon being laid 40 across the drum and b'e at once directed into the slit a.

v In the iorin shown in Fig. 2 an opening or hole B is formed by removing the intervening piece of metal b; shown in.Fig.'1. between the slot B and the slit a; The openingslot or aperture B maybe of any shape to throw the yarn or thread into and against the guiding edge of i the slit a. In the form shown in 3. the opening or aperture is inade the form of an increased width of. slit around one side of the drum leaving the guiding edge of the slita without any alteration. If desired the slit or opening B may be made on both sides oi the I drum.

With this construction-the drum can be threaded by merely drawing the thread across it while it is rotating at a high speed. v

' What we claim as our invention and desire to protect by Letters Patent-is:

1. A split drum for windingand gassing frames con- I structed with an auxiliary slit er opening by which to introduce the yarn or thread into the guiding-slit or the (50 drum substantially as described.

2'. In a'split drum for winding or gassing frames the combination with the zig-zag slit a of an auxiliary slit' B leading into the main slit to guide the yarn or thread into the main slit while the drum continues rotating substan-
